Summary

Mobile apps have become an essential part of our lives, and hackers are increasingly targeting them due to their growing importance and popularity. A 2019 study found that 38% of iOS apps and 43% of Android apps have high-risk security vulnerabilities, with 60% of mobile app security vulnerabilities being on the client-side. Despite this, 95% of developers reported having room for improvement in their security protocols, indicating a need for effective mobile app protection tools. Several solutions are available, including DexGuard and iXGuard, Appsealing, Appdome, LIAPP, Digital.ai Application Protection, DexProtector, and Quixxi, which offer code obfuscation, data encryption, RASP features, and real-time threat monitoring to protect mobile apps from hackers with minimal effort. These tools can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for seamless integration into workflows.
